What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that a 7.5% end allowance was warranted to reflect the divided nature of the merged property, with narrow internal access between units requiring allowance. The tribunal found that although the access was narrow, it was sufficient for a forklift truck to pass through, and having regard to comparable properties in the same postcode area which were at greater disadvantage, the appellant had not provided sufficient evidence to justify an allowance. The tribunal dismissed the appeal and confirmed the assessment at £81,500 RV.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Sechelle Manufacturing Ltd, represented.
